    Has anyone ever seen a Scott Joplin sign/mirror? I googled it & couldn't find anything - mostly images of his sheet music came up.
    It appears to have a little age judging by the tape on the back - do you think this was for a oldies record store or is it just a decorative piece?
    Thanks

    I suspect that dates to 1973-ish when The String was released. Printed mirrors were popular then too.

    Was that sheet music cover? Seems funny that there's not another example out there? But good for me; now it can be 'rare & unique'! :)

    Debora - what's 'the string' that was released in the 70's?
    Thanks

    The Sting - Paul Newman, Robert Redford, 1973. Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" was the theme. Started a brief Scott Joplin revival.
